Camino Day 19 (part 1) - Linares

After a lovely breakfast, and sending our packs ahead, we headed off to tackle the big climb.
The day would be broken into four sections, the first three to reach the top and the last to reach out albergue.
The first section was steep and tested the legs, but without our packs it felt like we were flying!!
The track was amazing and the views were stunning. The first section done and we stopped in the town for a coffee.
The second section was a little easier but still straight up. Once we reached the next town, we stopped for a juice :)
The third section was when we reached the summit town of O' Cebreiro, which we did by 11am. We stopped here for a long break, lunch and a couple of well earned beverages.
The last section was only another 3km into Linares and albergue. A quick shower then off to get supplies to cook our own dinner tonight, and a beverage or two.
Toasted ham and cheese sandwiches, not very Spanish but a unanimous decision, along with two bottles of a great local red.
All illness and blisters on my part are fully recovered, Hollie is still nursing a blister it two, but we are both in excellent shape and felt great!Read more
